Welcome!

Welcome to the website for the Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon. If you have been looking for a USAT event with a national championship feel, this is the race for you. This race will utilize a multi-loop format on each leg allowing racers to know exactly where they are on the course at all times. It will also allow family and friends many more opportunities to see their racer!

The venue for this event is Verona, Wisconsin. Verona is just a few miles south of Madison. In 2002, Verona gained national prominence in the triathlon community during the Ironman Wisconsin event. The enthusiasm of the community for triathlon is unequalled and will make for an unforgettable experience.

Swim:

Both races will take place in a crystal clear quarry and wet suits will be allowed. The Olympic distance race will be three loops with the swimmers exiting the water, crossing over a timing mat, and re-entering the water between the two loops.

Bike

The sprint distance bike will be an out and back 11 mile race over hilly terrain. The Olympic distance bike will include two loops in a very hilly and challenging terrain. Much of the bike course will utilize portions of the Ironman Wisconsin course as well as the old USCF WI State Road Championship course.

Run

The Sprint run will be one loop with an out and back section over a slightly rolling terrain. The Olympic distance 10K will be three loops over a slightly rolling terrain.  A short and quite steep hill - a real attention getter - is included in the loop.

Timing

This event will be chip-timed. All athletes will be provided with "Championchip" sensors supplied by Accu-Split.
